Lollar Pickups El Rayo Humbuckers
Hunt for the Perfect Humbucker for Gibson SG - this time around, I am featuring the Lollar Pickups El Rayo Humbuckers Thanks a ton for checking the channel out, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and leave a comment if you dig the content! Also, follow on Instagram and say what's up in the DMs! www.instagram.com/edgeofbreakup -------- I'm on a tone hunt for the best Humbuckers to swap into this Gibson SG Standard '61 Reissue. Follow along with me as I talk about the mods I have done so far to the guitar, and see if you dig the @Lollar Pickups El Rayos more than the Fralin Pure PAF Humbuckers (https://youtu.be/lPHmESPyyxs), or more than the Seymour Duncan Antiquities (https://youtu.be/ntlHT09FXxA), or even the stock Gibson Burstbuckers that I showcased in the original video, which you can find here: https://youtu.be/xcC6wLci1DY ----------- I picked up this Gibson SG Standard '61 Reissue a few months back and I've been getting to know it, and adjusting it for the feel I want. I have set it up both both slide and standard tuning / action, and I have found that the Gibson Burstbuckers weren't quite was I was looking for. I think the search may be over with these extremely expressive, open, low output El Rayo Humbucker from @Lollar Pickups! Probably my favorite Humbucker I've ever played. They say they are the perfect humbuckers for single coil players, and I've def found that to be true! Background: Unfortunately, originally I did find that the guitar's tuning stability was quite lacking, so I replaced the tuners with @StewMac Locking Kluson Tuners which helped but didn't get me all the way there, so I replaced the nut with a Stew Mac Bone nut, and applied some nut sauce and the guitar is very stable now! I also replaced all the wiring with an Emerson Custom SG Wiring Kit, and added an Emerson Custom Treble Bleed to both volume knobs to preserve my top end when turning volume down. Finally, I replaced the stock stop tail/saddle/bridge with a Callaham stainless steel kit.
